New to chess. I need help
Coaching is an option. But I think you can learn these things just by playing games (rapid or longer) and reviewing them afterwards. Plus, I believe Chess.com has lessons for beginners that will teach these basic concepts.
Improving Your Chess - Resources for Beginners and Beyond.....
https://www.chess.com/blog/RussBell/improving-your-chess-resources-for-beginners-and-beyond
you should learn these 4
fork: a move which attacks multiple pieces at once with only one pieces
pin: a move that prevents a piece to move
skewer: an attack from a queen or rook forcing the king to move out of the way and leaves another piece for free
discovered check: happens when a piece moves out the way to let another piece check the king
you should know how to develop pieces and how much they value too
You should first start how to find tactics like a brilliant move or fork. I think you know these things after you how the pieces move. You can learn strategy after like 1600+
Maybe you can... Just play games and learn new things from your opponents. And to increase ya elo You should play 5min Or 10 min game, or if possible 30 min game, Which gives you time to think
Yo! Just practise. Practise on rapid format with time control 15|10. This will give you a lot of time
@ADVTIPAPA 5 min is to less for him and 30min will be to long so best let him start with 15|10 then let him decrease his time when he feels confident
Chess is 100% about tactics and not blundering below 1200 elo. It's not about some long term strategy or extremely deep sequence calculations at that level(Heck it's barely anything like that at my level too!). To get better at something you work on sets of skills one step at a time so worry about those other things later and focus on the absolute fundamentals first. To be totally honest I still make stupid mistakes but trust me, just by following this not blundering and find tactics rule you'll easily get to 1000 elo within a couple months at most. Now I have a forum and a blog post that I think might help you with this.
'Every Single Chess Tactic Explained(Yes, Every Single One)' - This is my blog post where, you guessed it, I cover every single Chess Tactic. Now I'm not saying fully lean onto this blog post to work your tactics or anything. This is just a brief coverage on all these tactics with some explanations, puzzles, and examples to introduce you to them. There are a lot of other nice Chess websites to help you train these tactics and I personally recommend chesstempo.com and Chess.com's custom puzzles(you only get 3 free though).
https://www.chess.com/forum/view/game-analysis/post-your-game-here-114887232 - And then this one is my forum where I and every now and then some other friendly users analyze beginner games(usually under 1000) and give them actual feedback and advice based on the analysis. Basically you post a game, we analyze, we spot your weaknesses and tell you how to fix them.
Yup that's basically all I have to offer to you at your current level but try to expand your resources as much as possible to give you better and higher quality improvements. There are a lot of Chess improvement resources and once again a must-have in my opinion is chesstempo.com(this is not sponsored lol. I just think they have great puzzles and they're free!).
(I hope that’s an intuitive enough way to think of attacking and defending)
@ADVTIPAPA 5 min is to less for him and 30min will be to long so best let him start with 15|10 then let him decrease his time when he feels confident
Yeah I think he can start from 15 /10 or 10 than he vould definetely play that and also you can learn from chesspage1 university its not a site, its a channel in Youtube. You can learn basics😀
